Birthdays And lies

It was now Valentine's day at school. The students of Miss Wilkinson's class are assigned to construct a box for Valentine's cards and pass the cards around. Kiara likes Valentine's day since she would probably get a lot of cards. Although it may make her out to be full of herself if she thinks everybody likes her. Some of the others may only like her just because she is rich. After the art supplies have been handed out, the class put together their boxes. By the end of the class, eleven of the fifteen students' boxes were overflowing with Valentine's cards. A lynx girl by the name of Zelda noticed that Kovu was one of the boys with an overflowing box of Valentine's cards.

"Hey, Kovu! The students only gave you those cards because they felt sorry for you," Zelda said.

"Hey, Zelda! Jealous of me?" Kovu wondered.

"Shut up Kovu," Zelda said.

"Hey! No one says shut up in this class," Miss Wilkinson scolded.

"Zelda does Miss Wilkinson," Kovu said.

"Holy crap Kovu got a whack of Valentine's cards," Vitani replied.

"There will be none of that language young lady," Miss Wilkinson scolded.

"Ha ha," Zelda sneered.

"Hey that's my sister be nice," Kovu replied.

"She's a girl? I thought she was a guy dressed in drag," Zelda insulted.

"Say that again and your face will meet my claws," Vitani threatened.

"Vitani Blackwell! Go to the office right now!" Miss Wilkinson scolded.

"Zelda called me ugly! She deserves to be put in her place," Vitani said.

"The drag queen got in trouble," Zelda teased.

"It's a wonder you have any friends Zelda," Kovu said.

"On second thought, Zelda you'll be joining Vitani down at the office," Miss Wilkinson said.

"Why?" Zelda whined.

"I'll not tolerate name-calling in this class," Miss Wilkinson said.

Zelda and Vitani got up from their seats and walked down to the office. On the way there, Zelda kept up with the insults. After being called ugly the fifth time, Vitani let her temper out of control and smacked Zelda across the face with her claws extended. Zelda noticed that her face was bleeding after she took out her primping mirror. She hated Vitani now and she would tell her gossip group what happened to her. Once the girls got to the office, they were called in by Miss Hollingsworth. She motioned for them to sit in chairs across from her desk.

"Oh my goodness Zelda! What happened?" Miss Hollingsworth asked.

"Check the drag queen for any blood and skin on her claws," Zelda said.

"My name is Vitani," Vitani replied.

"Whatever, still a funny name for a guy," Zelda insulted.

"I'm a girl," Vitani said.

"How come you don't have breasts?" Zelda asked.

"I'm only twelve Zelda and I'm a late bloomer," Vitani said.

"This has nothing to do with what we're talking about," Miss Hollingsworth said.

"Check Vitani's claws," Zelda said.

Miss Hollingsworth had Vitani hold out her paws so she could check for any blood and skin. After inspection, Miss Hollingsworth slapped Vitani's paws with her ruler. Vitani pulled her paws back and folded them in her lap.
